Message-ID: <4CB86F94.7080702@kernel.org> Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2010 17:13:24 +0200 From: Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org> To: lkml <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>, Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org>, Rusty Russell <rusty@...tcorp.com.au> Subject: [PATCH v2.6.36-rc7] init: don't call flush_scheduled_work() from do_initcalls() It's unclear what flush_scheduled_work() in do_initcalls() tries to achieve. The call doesn't make much sense - there already are multiple system workqueues which aren't affected by flush_scheduled_wokr() and subsystems are free to create and use their own. Ordering requirements are and should be expressed explicitly. Drop the call to prepare for deprecation and removal of flush_scheduled_work(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org> --- If no one objects, I'll route this through wq tree.
